“hat an amazing experience! Chef Will and Karen were a perfect duo and provided a seamless, stress free, and fun evening. Every detail was accounted for, including beautiful set up with name cards, menus, and beautiful tableware, and the presentation of the food was outstanding. The only thing rivaling the presentation was the delicious food itself. My guests were raving for days. We would definitely hire them again!” - Steffi

Can’t recommend them enough!” - Sara
“I hired Will and Karen to provide several meals (two dinners and a brunch) when I was hosting some old friends for aa weekend. They were an amazing team. It began with the meal planning as well as an openness to specific suggestions. The execution was flawless with great food, creative preparation and Karen making and serving some great drinks. I will definitely be hiring them in the future!” - Joe
